“Working as an associate for a previous design consultancy, I found that the role was a mixture of design, leadership, management and responsibility. This was a natural step when moving up from a senior engineer. However, these elements require a very good balance, which I found was difficult to achieve whilst working for a design consultancy. Working longer hours and juggling a very high workload triggered me to start exploring other opportunities.
Stuart contacted me about a role within a property management company, who are not your traditional MEP design consultancy. I was reluctant at first to move from a traditional design consultancy but after several conversations with Stuart, I decided to pursue it further.
Stuart provided me with loads of information about the company, and in particular about an Electrical Associate Director role. The level of and quality of information provided allowed me to assess the job role and company thoroughly which mentally prepared me for the interview. Stuart was pivotal in answering any burning questions I had about the company, the role and in particular the transition. The guidance and advice provided by Stuart throughout the process gave me the comfort in knowing that this move was right for me and at the right point of my career.
With the assistance of Stuart and his team, I could not have asked for a smoother transition into property consultancy, albeit within the engineering department. The relationships I have already made within the company have made the workflow simple and manageable. Stuart and his team have guided me through the process and still provide the support to ensure the move was right by checking in every now and again.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Stuart when I was considering a move from design consultancy into property consultancy, and I can honestly say the process couldn’t have gone better. From the very first conversation, Stuart was clear, open and incredibly well-informed about the role and the wider business at CBRE.
What really stood out was the amount of time he took to make sure I understood not just the role itself, but also the culture, expectations and opportunities within CBRE. The insights he shared before my interviews were spot on and gave me the confidence to approach the process fully prepared.
Stuart also kept the focus on career progression, making sure every step aligned with my goals. I never felt like I was just being placed into a role, it was clear he genuinely wanted the right fit for me and for the company. That made all the difference.
I’m now in my new role with CBRE and very glad I made the move. I’d highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking to take the next step in their career within M&E engineering, his knowledge, support and professionalism are second to none.”
